lyrics

Tie you up like all the others
You look like something I could sink my teeth into
Stick a fork in it cause this one is obviously through
And these kinds of instances are rare

Echoes bouncing to the bottom of a bottle
Squinting at imaginary stage lights in my room
This secret symphony is playing just for you
And if you listen really, really hard
You will hear me driving drunk into your heart

Shots of whiskey from the barrel of a revolver
Sucker's written on my forehead, it's written on yours too
If I go to hell then all my friends will be there soon
That is if I had any friends at all

Ask me why I even bother
Cause these assumptions make an ass out of me as well as you
If I'm a hopeless case I hope that you are too
And as significance melts away
It's dripping icing on a wonderful day
